On a recent trip to downtown Arlington for my daughter's SAT exam, I discovered Stilly Diner, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home.
I chose a traditional breakfast, and it was delicious. The sausage and bacon were perfectly cooked—not too salty—allowing the flavors to really shine. The hashbrowns tasted homemade, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like a comforting meal from your kitchen.
One of the best parts of my visit was meeting some wonderful people. While I waited for my food, I chatted with a lady outside who loved the diner’s gluten-free options, and she mentioned her husband found the corned beef delicious. I also spoke with a guy next to me who works remotely as a frontend programmer and comes to the diner often—his stories added to the welcoming atmosphere.
To top it all off, someone at a table behind me unexpectedly paid for my meal before leaving. Maybe they got charmed about me working hard on my laptop while easting in the corner on a Saturday morning! I made sure to tip generously to spread the good vibes to the wonderful servers.
Overall, Stilly Diner is a true gem in Arlington. With great food, friendly faces, and a sense of community, my first visit was truly memorable. I can’t wait to return!
Hammond makes the best rustic bread, one of my favs. Apple puffins delish. Tried something new. Bread pudding, thought it would be too sweet, no I think my new favorite. Absolutely delicious. They have vegan and gluten free. This is truly a bakery. Not a place that sells baked goods. I love this place.
All around great experience. The service was great, super friendly helpful staff. I am gluten free and they helped me with making my decision. I had GF Mediterranean pasta and then we had the GF Oso chocolate cake and lemon meringue. I was in heaven! My husband is not GF, but agreed my pasta was very good and the Oso cake too. Such a low key and chill place to eat.
We live closer to Burlington, but we prefer this Dennys because the service is better, faster and the wait staff are so friendly! I have celiac disease and have never had an issue getting a safe meal here.
All was good. Cobb salad was delicious. Would be great if they had gluten free buns for burgers and sandwiches, I realize that they would probably be a waste of $$ and understand them not having them available.
